SHIMLA: With J&K chief minister Omar Abdullah having reiterating his concern at the plan of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) to unfurl the national flag at conclusion of its Rashtriya Ekta Yatra at Srinagar's Lal Chowk on January 26, and asked them not to do so, the resolve of the organization has only gone stronger. National president Anurag Thakur claimed, "This yatra is for the honour and respect of the tricolour and will conclude after unfurling the national flag at Lal Chowk.''
The state wing of the organization is getting its members ready to embark to Srinagar to be present on Republic Day for what they termed as a historic occasion when the national president unfurls the tricolour, national general secretary BJYM and incharge of the yatra, Manoranjan Mishra said that the tremendous response being given to the yatra was an indication that people were for the unity and integrity of the country.
He said that on the fifth day the yatra started from Varanasi and reached Amethi via Jaunpur and Sultanpur and in his public meeting at Amethi, the parliamentary constituency of Congress youth icon, Rahul Gandi, the BJYM national president made it clear that the yatra will not stop and go ahead to its concluding point at Lal Chowk in Srinangar, where the tricolour will be unfurled.
The huge crowd in support of the yatra at Amethi was evident of the fact that people of the country were fed up with the so-called legacy of the Gandhi family and its days were numbered. People from the public came out to the dais and blessed Anurag and even presented him with a sword, while a 75-year-old woman handed a tricolour to him and gave him her blessings, he claimed.
